Moog mostly has the amiable, 70-ish inventor recounting his story, from his teen years as an electronics whiz in the Bronx to his development of a smaller, cheaper synthesizer.
70
At the very least, Moog should persuade you that the history of music over the last century is as much a story of technology and sound as a family tree of stylistic influences. It's a very useful reminder.
60
Fjellestad exhibits a playful adoration for the man and the otherworldly sounds of his machine in an intriguing rendering of one of music technology's seminal figures.
50
For every insight, there are a half-dozen meandering conversations and unguided reminiscences.
50
This short documentary might teach you a thing or two about the electronic instrument that revolutionized the sound of modern music.
50
Dry interviews and soggy performances by the likes of Money Mark and Rick Wakeman of Yes don't do much to burnish Moog's legacy.
30
Moog is an inventor's movie all the way.
